Fantasy Tip: Dominguez is hitless in seven at-bats with the Jays in 2016 and should be viewed as nothing more than an inexpensive flier. Barney is 5-for-16 (.313) over the past week and is hitting .320 overall this year, making him a productive source of cap relief in DFS contests this afternoon.

Fantasy Tip: Dominguez is a career .233 hitter, but he did slug 21 home runs for the Houston Astros back in 2013. He struck out in two of his three plate appearances last night in his season debut, and he's a desperation flier in daily contests tonight.

Fantasy Tip: Dominguez will basically take the spot of Chris Colabello, who has been suspended for performance-enhancing drugs. He is worth using in deeper AL-only fantasy play and DFS when he makes a start.

Houston Astros 3B Matt Dominguez was cut from the roster and sent to the minor leagues on Sunday, March 29. He had been the starting third baseman the last two years.

Fantasy Tip: When the Astros traded for Luis Valbuena, the clock began ticking on Dominguez's fantasy value. Dominguez had some value because of the 37 homers he hit in the last two seasons, but his batting average killed any further chances of staying on the roster. He should not be drafted at the moment.

Houston Astros 3B Matt Dominguez will receive playing time at first base during spring training, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Dominguez will battle for playing time at third base with 3B Luis Valbuena, with Dominguez likely starting against left-handed pitchers. Dominguez could potentially spell 1B Jon Singleton at first base against southpaws, too.

Fantasy Tip: At best, Dominguez is a late-round flier for owners in cavernous mixed league and AL-only formats desperate for power. He has 42 home runs through 357 games, but is a batting average anchor with a career .233 mark. Add the lack of guaranteed at-bats and there is little need reach for Dominguez on draft day.
